"Dui Jiu, Dui Jiu, I, Xu Hui, treated you like a good brother, and you actually schemed against me like this! You're really something!" Xu Hui gritted his teeth. "Is this how you repay me? If Cheng Ji hadn't reminded me, I would have really been fooled by you!"

A cold smile crept onto Hong Chengji's lips.

He had anticipated that Qiao Suinian had faked his death, so he immediately led Xu Hui and the others to the steel plant.

As the saying goes, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind," Lei Laohu is the mantis, and Qiao Suinian is the oriole.

But the oriole would never have imagined that a dark hunting rifle was hidden behind it.

Hong Chengji waved his hand, and a dozen or so of the last remaining members of the Tianlong Gang surrounded Qiao Suinian.

"How did you guess I wasn't dead?" Qiao Suinian's expression changed drastically.

"In terms of shrewdness, you're still lacking!" Hong Chengji's three-white eyes revealed a smug look.

Qiao Suinian clenched her fists, looking extremely unwilling.

"Hand over what you've got obediently, or you might suffer when we take action!" Hong Chengji threatened.

The resentment on Qiao Suinian's face finally faded, replaced by despair, like a deflated balloon.

"I can give it to you, but you have to promise me you'll let me go!"

Just as Xu Hui was about to speak, Hong Chengji suddenly stopped him.

"That depends on the value of what you bring out. If what you bring out is enough to compensate for the losses of so many people who died in the Tianlong Gang, it's not impossible to release you!"

"good!"

Qiao Suinian took a deep breath and nodded, then reached out and began to grope under his black robe.

"I'll hand it over right now!"

Hong Chengji couldn't help but frown. Would this kid really be so obedient?

He secretly became wary.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Suinian actually took out a ring, which resembled a bent torch and was covered with mysterious runes.

"This is an E+ grade equipment, the Torch Ring, which can amplify the power of fire skills by 15%," Qiao Suinian explained.

When Xu Hui saw the ring and heard about its effects, his eyes widened instantly.

For professions related to fire abilities, the Torch Ring is extremely tempting.

"Hurry, hurry, give me that ring!" Xu Hui urged.

"Do you want it?" Qiao Suinian asked.

"Yes!" Xu Hui nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, I'll shoot it for you now."

Before Xu Hui could react, Qiao Suinian had already finished speaking when he immediately used Nagash Gaze.

Two green beams shot out from his dark eyes and flew directly toward Xu Hui.

"Brother Hui, watch out!"

Seeing this, Dumbledore shoved Xu Hui away, and the Dahl Magic Bind struck Dumbledore's head directly. The flesh at the wound site began to wither and fall off until the white skull was exposed.

Dumbledore slowly collapsed to the ground, his entire body beginning to convulse. Two coin-sized holes had been punched in his head, and it was clear he was not going to survive.

"Big brother!" Deng Ren roared from the side. Of the four Deng brothers, he was now the only one left.

A look of terror appeared on Xu Hui's face. If Deng Bu hadn't pushed him away, he would definitely be dead by now.

Hong Chengji was also startled; this person was deliberately lowering their guard so that he could deal with Xu Hui first.

Even at this point, he was still scheming?

"Kill him! Kill him now! He's a mage, his physical body is the weakest. Assassins, charge! Kill him!"

The death of Deng Bu and the lingering fear of narrowly escaping death drove Xu Hui completely insane. He commanded the remaining dozen or so men to surround Qiao Suinian.

If Xu Hui had witnessed Qiao Suinian killing Torch Ghost Child with a single blow, perhaps he wouldn't have said that mages have weak physical bodies.

Qiao Suinian was not alarmed. He took a step back, then raised the Ghost Child Ring and cast the Skeleton Summoning Spell!

The Ghost Child Ring flashed, and two identical skeleton warriors appeared on the field, fighting against the members of the Heavenly Dragon Gang.

Qiao Suinian's mental attribute is now as high as 79.2, and the skeleton warriors he summons are extremely terrifying. Ordinary members are no match for the skeleton warriors.

This further solidified Hong Chengji and Xu Hui's determination to eliminate Qiao Suinian, the necromancer, first.

"Dui Jiu, give up resisting. Do you really think you can handle so many of us on your own?" Hong Chengji drew his bow and aimed an arrow at Qiao Suinian.

The arrowhead gleamed with a faint green light, clearly indicating it was highly poisonous. Hong Chengji loosened his grip, and the arrow instantly transformed into a streak of light, shooting towards Qiao Suinian.

Qiao Suinian dodged to the left, and the arrow flew past him, barely grazing his scalp.

Xu Hui also took the opportunity to unleash his skill on Qiao Suinian, a surging fireball crashing down on Qiao Suinian's head. This fireball was much more powerful than the one he used against Lei Laohu.

"Hit!"

Xu Hui's face lit up with surprise.

The fireball engulfed Qiao Suinian's figure, leaving only the raging flames.

Xu Hui firmly believed that a fragile class like a mage would not fare well if hit head-on by his fireball.

"Don't underestimate Brother Hui! You still have energy left, keep attacking them!" Hong Chengji dared not be careless, and he would do his best until he personally cut off Qiao Suinian's head.

As they were speaking, three more arrows shot into the firelight.

Xu Hui nodded quickly, and then immediately added a fireball.
